Chiefs Schefter reporting Cowher tops our list of candidates, Shanahan will NOT be in KC.. - Page 14

Shanahan isn’t a candidate in Kansas City
http://blogs.nfl.com/2009/01/23/shan...n-kansas-city/

Despite reports running rampant that Kansas City is negotiating with former Broncos coach Mike Shanahan they are not, sources said Friday.

The Chiefs never have made any contact with Shahanan, never. And there have been no contract negotiations.

So unless people I have known for years are wrong, Shanahan is not going to be the next coach of the Kansas City Chiefs. It is not happening. People can keep talking as if it is. But it is not. He will not be the coach of the Kansas City Chiefs in 2009.

While football has speculated on the Chiefs coaching search the past few weeks, now Kansas City actually gets to commence it.

One NFL source said a name near or at the top of the Chiefs list is former Steelers coach Bill Cowher, who has been adamant that he will not coach this season. Still, the source said the Chiefs are interested in Cowher, though it is uncertain whether they would be able to entice him to come out of retirement.

Also on the Chiefs list is Cardinals offensive coordinator Todd Haley, who used to work on the staff of Bill Parcells, the father-in-law of Kansas City general manager Scott Pioli. If the Chiefs wanted to hire Haley, they would have to wait until after the Super Bowl to make the move.

Dolphins defensive coordinator Paul Pasqualoni also is thought to be on the Chiefs list of potential candidates. Pasqualoni had a down season in Miami, but is highly respected around the league and used to work with Pioli for two seasons at Syracuse.

Some around the league believe that Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt has a strong feeling for Kansas City offensive coordinator Chan Gailey, though Pioli would have to sign off on the hire and some doubt that he would.

However it works, the coaching carousel keeps spinning.

And we now have 11 teams that have changed head coaches, more than any other season in NFL history. The changes included two Super-Bowl winning coaches that were fired, two Super-Bowl winning coaches that retired, and seven other changes.

Cowher's going to want in excess of $7 million per year. Probably more like $8 million.

Cowher is waiting for Carolina to open up, this season is starting to shape up like it will be the one where Fox loses control and gets canned.

"They are not near a deal. They are not near a deal right now, they were not near a deal yesterday, they will not be near a deal tomorrow. Mike Shanahan will not be the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs," Schefter told 9NEWS. "All the people in Denver can stop worrying or stop talking about it, it's not happening. I know there have been national reports to the other effect. I'm here to tell you just the opposite, it's not going to happen."

Schefter says he has spoken with Shanahan directly about it.

"I speak to Mike regularly, there has been nothing in his tone or in his message that has given me any indication that he will be the coach of the Kansas City Chiefs. I know for a fact they've not had contact to this point. The Chiefs may in fact reach out to him in the coming days and even then I firmly believe it will not change anything," Schefter said.

It's funny, he sounds very sure of it but the second paragraph sure sounds like he's basing a lot of this on gut instinct rather than actually hearing it from Rat...

I concur. I've always liked Jack when it came to Carl, but he's crossed the line in to TFS, and I wish I had a copy of the heated discussion between him and Keitz yesterday.

I'd never forgive Bowlen if this happened.

Take your Coach, please!

He is not alone.

Let us pray said pot is vacated post-haste.

Why would Schefter do that if this was all about Shanny needing to "pretend" to be finding work so he could keep his money?

He wouldn't be. Because if this WAS just Shanny "pretending" to find work, Schefter has killed his plan.
